How To Wash Your Face Properly With Reflekt 1 To Prevent Acne

There is nothing fun about an acne breakout; especially when it happens just before an important event or occasion. Unfortunately, acne can happen at any time and for many different reasons. Did you know that spicy foods, heavy makeup, bad hair products and high stress can all cause acne flare-ups?

Everyday life choices put your skin at risk. As frustrating as acne can be, there are ways to keep it at bay. We want to share some tips with you on how to wash your face properly to prevent acne.

Step by step tips from Reflekt Skincare on how best to treat your breakouts:

The first step in preventing acne is learning how to wash your face properly. You might be surprised to discover this is more important than you realize! If not done correctly, it can lead to acne. The following steps offer insight on how to wash your face daily:

Wash your hands Before you put the cleanser on your hands, you must first wash them properly with soap to remove dirt and bacteria. If you don’t, you risk contaminating your cleansing product with nasty impurities.

Be gentle while washing When you apply the cleanser be kind to your skin. Harsh rubbing and over scrubbing will disturb your skin’s pH balance and can also lead to fine lines and wrinkles. The right product will do its job and clean your skin well. Overdoing it with rubbing won’t make things better.

Use the right water temperature Did you know that washing your face with hot water creates a drying effect? Using lukewarm water to remove the cleanser is the best temperature to wash your face.

Rinse your face thoroughly If traces of products are left behind it can lead to clogged pores which can lead to acne.

Don’t rub to dry the skin There is absolutely no reason to rub your face dry. Patting your skin gently with a towel is all you need. Scrubbing and rubbing are damaging.

Follow up with the right moisturizer We can’t stress this enough. Almost all our articles mention moisturizer. It’s a super important step in washing your face to prevent acne. Apply the moisturizer the moment you are finished washing.

In addition to washing your face properly, there are other things you can do to achieve beautiful clear skin. One of the best ways to prevent acne naturally is with a healthy diet. Skin is the largest organ on the body and is the reflection of what is going on internally. When you have a balanced healthy diet that includes a lot of fruit and vegetables, your skin will get the nutrients it needs to look and feel healthy.

It’s also important to drink a lot of water every day. Water helps your body flush toxins that can build up in your skin. The body is mostly made of water and when you get dehydrated your skin does too. Dehydrated skin means that even if you wash your face properly, you might experience excessive dryness.

When your facial skin is overly dry it creates a barrier on the outermost layer that does not allow the oils to properly flow, which is why the pores become clogged. Dry skin also ages faster (ugh). Basically, the more your skin suffers the more at risk you are for getting acne. So hydrate! hydrate! hydrate!

Exercise is another way to ward off acne. When you work out your body experiences a series of benefits like improved circulation and healthier cells. Another bonus is that you will work up a good sweat, which helps to eliminate toxins from the body. When your body is in motion, it releases endorphins that make you feel good and help tackle stress, which can also cause an acne breakout. This is what we call a win-win situation.

Not washing your face is a terrible idea, but washing your face too much is also bad. No matter how great your product is, washing your face more than necessary will dry out your skin and force your body to produce more oil, which in turn can cause acne! The secret is to establish a good balance. Washing your face twice daily, once in the morning and once at night, is best. Determine what works best for you and always moisturize.

Keeping your skin hydrated will help prevent acne but will also help heal any acne you currently have. The more hydrated your skin, the healthier it will be.

When you do have acne, wash your face with products that help exfoliate and remove bacteria. It is also useful to apply a blemish cream, but only on problem areas. Never ever pick at your face! Doing this will make acne worse and can lead to scarring. Most important, try your hardest to never touch your face throughout the day! You probably don’t realize how often you do this. Your hands are not as clean as you think. We touch doorknobs, handles, staplers and dozens of other items that carry a disgusting number of germs. Do you want all that gunk on your face?

Washing your face to prevent acne is an important step in your beauty routine. We hope these steps put you on the path to healthy acne-free skin! What is your face washing routine? We would love to hear from you! We also welcome you to visit our articles about using facial scrubs.

Cheers to beautiful skin!
